This garden was the final touch in the extensive renovation of a period property, transforming it into the client’s family home. As the CEO of a successful digital marketing company, his time was split between working from his newly built garden office and traveling for global speaking engagements.
The primary requirement was simple: a direct path from the house to the office, replacing the muddy lawn. However, the client also wanted to fully capitalize on the garden’s potential, surrounded by the historic 300+ year-old farmhouse and walls.
We took the client's basic layout concept and brought it to life, as the project evolved with new ideas. What started as a simple design quickly grew into an outdoor kitchen with a built-in fireplace, a curved seating area, and even a transparent dome! We also uncovered a historic millstone, which we creatively set vertically in a border and illuminated with a spotlight. As always, it was the carefully selected lighting and planting that truly brought the vision together, making this an imaginative and standout project.
